The color theory they teach you in most schools (until recently) relates to
pigment color. The usual problem in achieving a color match in a computer is
attempting to match a pigment color, which is a _reflective_ color, to a
computer color, which is an _illuminated_ color. In addition, the apparent hue
of a computer color changes depending on many elements, including the intensity
of your monitor, the light in the room, and the colors on the screen that
surround the hue. There's a program on an Mac that's designed specifically for
the purpose of calibrating computer colors with pigment colors. Unfortunately,
I can't remember the name of it — and it's on the Mac.
